Latest Issue of the Rotman International Journal for Pension Management Examines Rethinking Investing from the Ground Up.

June 16, 2014

Toronto – Rethinking Investing from the Ground Up is the theme of the Spring 2014 issue of the Rotman International Journal for Pension Management.

“It delivers new insights into issues ranging from investment beliefs, governance, engagement, information analytics, private markets investing, to pension reform in a style that is geared to be both comprehensive and readable, and that does so taking a broad international perspective,” says journal editor Keith Ambachtsheer.

With contributions from pension practitioners and academics, the journal is published by the Rotman International Centre for Pension Management (Rotman ICPM) at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.

“Six years ago we started this journal with a purpose to address the strategic knowledge needs of the people overseeing and managing retirement savings pools around the world and this issue certainly has met this,” says Ambachtsheer who recently stepped down as the Director, Rotman International Centre for Pension Management.

Articles in the Spring 2014 issue include:

A guest editorial on What Types of People Should Manage Institutional Money? by Jack Gray;
